WHAT IS THE HOLY SPIRIT SAYING THIS JANUARY 2023?

And Jesus returned in the power of the Spirit into Galilee: and there went out a fame of him through all the region round about.
Luke 4:14 [KJV]

Happy New Year to you beloved! It is with a great joy that I welcome you to this year of the Dependable Yahweh. We do not take for granted His great goodness and mercies which He has manifested in our lives from January 2022 to today 1st January 2023. If we are to pay for only oxygen for 365 days, the wealth of a whole nation would deplete for the bill of just one person. Pastor David Oyedepo Jnr told of an experience where he went to pray for someone in the hospital in UK. He watched as a tube carried the blood of the person from his body to a machine and back to his body and when he asked what the problem was, he was told that this person’s system cannot oxygenated his blood so they needed the machine to take his blood and oxygenate it and give it right back to him and that process costs £9,000 per week. That means if he is to continue in that process for a year, it would cost £468,000 for 52 weeks. That is just for oxygenating blood. How much would it cost to keep the heart beating, the liver functioning, the lungs, the nerves, and every vital organ functioning. Man is too expensive for man to maintain. It is only our creator that can maintain man. This is why if every breath is praise, it would still not be enough to truly appreciate Yahweh. So go ahead and praise Him some more and more.

THANKFUL FOR DECEMBER 2022

Blessed be the Lord: for he hath shewed me his marvellous kindness in a strong city.
Psalms 31:21 [KJV]

We have seen the Lord’s goodness, His mercies and compassion! Halleluyah, praise the Lord! Without any iota of doubt, the Lord has been good to us. If you doubt me, take a trip to the hospital or the morgue and see for yourself. You are not better than those in the hospital or mortuary. 365 days is not a joke and the Lord has conquered the days for us. We are immensely grateful Father. What a day! The last day of the month of December. The last day of the year 2022. In a couple of hours we shall arrive 2022 and that in good health and sound mind. What a good God we serve. Taking us all the way from January 1st to December 31st 2022, providing for us, protecting us, preserving us, leading and guiding us. We are here today to say THANK YOU FATHER! For You are good and Your mercies endures forever. Of a truth, I have seen Your mercies and I can confidently say that I do not deserve the least of the loving kindness which has been super abundant towards me and mine all through 2022.

WHAT IS IN DIVINE DIRECTION FOR YOU (1): EXISTENCE IN THE STILL WATERS

WHAT IS IN DIVINE DIRECTION FOR YOU (1): EXISTENCE IN THE STILL WATERS

He maketh me to lie down in green pastures: he leadeth me beside the still waters.
Psalms 23:2 [KJV]

There is a place of existence besides the still waters. It is a place of peace, calm and unfathomable tranquillity. It is a place of supernatural comfort and rest. The still waters of destiny is a real place but it is only reserved for those that are led by Yahweh’s Spirit. The still waters is that place where the Lord takes over your battles. Yahweh through the prophetic told Jehoshaphat and Judah to set themselves. II Chronicles 20:17 says, “Ye shall not need to fight in this battle: set yourselves, stand ye still, and see the salvation of the Lord with you, O Judah and Jerusalem: fear not, nor be dismayed; to morrow go out against them: for the Lord will be with you.” Do you want to see the salvation of the Lord, then it behoves on you to be diligent to access divine direction. That leading into the still waters for Jehoshaphat and Judah came out of a three days fast. These things don’t fall into one’s lap, you have to reach out and lay hold on them. The challenge is not if there is a place where one can enjoy the still waters of Yahweh. The challenge we have today is taking responsibility like King Jehoshaphat and Judah did to ask direction from the Lord. But Beloved, there is no way around it. If you desire to exist around the still waters, divine direction is the way there.

EXPECT DIVINE VISITATION – YAHUSHUA’S BIRTHDAY EVE

EXPECT DIVINE VISITATION – YAHUSHUA’S BIRTHDAY EVE

And the angel came in unto her, and said, Hail, thou that art highly favoured, the Lord is with thee: blessed art thou among women.
Luke 1:28 (KJV)

It takes a divine visitation to establish a great celebration in the lives of people. This is a season of divine visitation and you must not be carried away with the celebration and miss the visitation. It is the visitation that establishes a change of story that leads to the celebration. We are celebrating the result of a great visitation both to the lives of Mary and Joseph in particular and to humanity at large. I desire that you connect to their testimony and ask Yahweh for a visitation to you today that people will read tomorrow and glorify Him. Now it doesn’t matter how bad your situation is, the visitation of Yahweh will give you a change of story. For several years, Elizabeth was called barren but one day in Luke 1:11-20, there was a divine visitation to Zechariah her husband which established a change of story for her. Over the next nine months, the barren become a joyful mother of a prophet by that great visitation.

QUALIFICATION TO BE LED (6): PRAISE LIFESTYLE

QUALIFICATION TO BE LED (6): PRAISE LIFESTYLE

Ye shall have a song, as in the night when a holy solemnity is kept; and gladness of heart, as when one goeth with a pipe to come into the mountain of the Lord, to the mighty One of Israel.
Isaiah 30:29 (KJV)

It is a spiritual reality that having a song facilitates hearing from Yahweh. At a point, the prophet Elisha needed to know what Yahweh was saying to the kings that came to inquire of the Lord about the journey they were undertaking. In II Kings 3:15 Prophet Elisha requested that a minstrel be brought to him and as the minstrel played the hand of the Lord came upon the Prophet and he prophesied. Praise is Yahweh’s habitat. When praise is available the presence of Yahweh is invoked and when Adonai is available, then His voice can be heard. Anyone that desires to get divine direction must strive to provide the atmosphere for the presence of Yahweh. You must run away from any form of gloom, anger, boredom, depression and weariness. These are enemies of Yahweh’s presence. Do you know that in the ancient times, you dare not appear before a king with a sad face. That is automatic death sentence. It is considered as treason. How are kings welcomed? By singing and dancing and rejoicing. Earthly kings learnt those protocols from Yahweh. You cannot have access to the presence of Yahweh with a gloomy heart and face. You want direction from Yahweh? Then you need to enter His presence first.

PROPHETIC FOCUS FOR DECEMBER 2022

PROPHETIC FOCUS FOR DECEMBER 2022

He maketh me to lie down in green pastures: he leadeth me beside the still waters.
Psalms 23:2 [KJV]

Finally, we are in that month of merriment. Welcome to the month of December 2022! It shall be your crowning month of His goodness. Psalms 65:11 confirms that, “Thou crownest the year with thy goodness; and thy paths drop fatness.” This last month shall be your month of fatness in all areas. This month of December shall end this year in mighty celebration for you in the precious name of the Lord Yahushua HaMashiach Amen! It is obvious that you have received an encounter with Divine Wisdom. Proverbs 4:7 says “Wisdom is the principal thing; therefore get wisdom: and with all thy getting get understanding.” Ecclesiastes 8:1 says, “Wisdom is the principal thing; therefore get wisdom: and with all thy getting get understanding.” That shows that you cannot emerge a principality in life without Wisdom and shining in life is only by Divine Wisdom. We looked intently at Wisdom, what it is, how to access it, what it gives and how to recognize it when it is in operation. We saw that it is this Wisdom from above that gives meaning to any other thing on earth. It is Wisdom that makes you want to discover your purpose and vision. It is Wisdom that helps you to develop goals and plans. It is this Wisdom from above that empowers you for vigorous committed pursuit that ultimately makes you a wonder to your world. So, every other thing is a product of Divine Wisdom. That is how principal this Wisdom is. Our prayer is that every trace of foolishness will be over forever in your life. You shall continue to function in this Wisdom as you maintain the fear of Yahweh in your life; as you continue to walk in meekness. You are blessed!

THANKFUL FOR NOVEMBER 2022

THANKFUL FOR NOVEMBER 2022

Saying, Amen: Blessing, and glory, and wisdom, and thanksgiving, and honour, and power, and might, be unto our God for ever and ever. Amen.
Revelation 7:12 [KJV]

Wisdom affects everything about the living of a person on earth. Wisdom determines the quality of life that one is going to live. When you take wisdom steps, then you will experience the best of Elohim in your life. One of wisdom’s ways is thanksgiving. Thanksgiving is the wisdom for increase, sustenance and promotion. Until we give thanks, we do not have access to the throne room. Psalms 100:4 says, “Enter into his gates with thanksgiving, and into his courts with praise: be thankful unto him, and bless his name.” Thanksgiving is the access code into the throne room and into the presence of the Father. You may have plenty of supplications to offer; your case may even be very urgent, but you would be yelling from the outer court without thanksgiving. That is the beginning of frustration on the altar of prayer. It is Wisdom to come with thanksgiving. Wherever there is wisdom, there will necessarily be thanksgiving.

THANKFUL FOR OCTOBER 2022

THANKFUL FOR OCTOBER 2022

In God will I praise his word: in the Lord will I praise his word.
Psalms 56:10 [KJV]

The Lord and His Word are the same. For us to come into His presence, the divine protocol is to enter with thanksgiving (see Psalms 100:4). You cannot enjoy the Word from the outer court. It is the Spirit that teaches us the Word. You must come into His presence first and that entails having a thankful/grateful heart. Maybe this is the link that is missing in the lives of so many students of the Word. Thanksgiving and praise is the way to enter into the presence of the Lord. Also it takes thanksgiving and praise to access revelation from the Word because you are only inside the court by thanksgiving and praise. Mark 4:11 says, ‘And he said unto them, Unto you it is given to know the mystery of the kingdom of God: but unto them that are without, all these things are done in parables:’ You are within the court by thanksgiving and praise. No matter how in a hurry you are to read or study, close your eyes and thank the Lord for the privilege to have His Word and to read it.

THANKFUL FOR SEPTEMBER 2022

Therefore I will give thanks unto thee, O Lord, among the heathen, and I will sing praises unto thy name.
II Samuel 22:50 [KJV]

Colossians 3:17 says, ‘And whatsoever ye do in word or deed, do all in the name of the Lord Jesus, giving thanks to God and the Father by him.’ Whatever you do in word or deed, give thanks to God. Thanksgiving is what brings perfection to whatever you do in word or deed. For instance, prayer is not acceptable without thanksgiving accompanying it (see Philippians 4:6). Thanksgiving is the common denominator for a life of wonders. From 1st September to this last day of September, we have seen the hand of Yahweh releasing deluge of His Word daily for us. The Word has not been scarce at all and for that we owe Him thanks. Here at #WordForTodayDevotional, we dedicate the last day of the month as our thanksgiving day, where we celebrate the grace of Yahweh that has led us thus far in the month. If you are joining us for the first time, get set to thank Yahweh abundantly today, II Thessalonians 2:13, says that we are bound to give thanks to Yahweh always. It is a duty we owe the Lord. Itemize the things for which you are going to be giving thanks and in the list could be items that are yet to be done. Thank Yahweh profusely for them.

THE SACRIFICE OF PRAISE

THE SACRIFICE OF PRAISE

By him therefore let us offer the sacrifice of praise to God continually, that is, the fruit of our lips giving thanks to his name.
Hebrews 13:15 (KJV)

A sacrifice is something that costs you something. It is a great value given to propitiate a being. II Samuel 24:24 showed us an example; “And the king said unto Araunah, Nay; but I will surely buy it of thee at a price: neither will I offer burnt offerings unto the Lord my God of that which doth cost me nothing. So David bought the threshingfloor and the oxen for fifty shekels of silver.” The sacrifice of praise is praise that costs you something. It is praise that is not convenient and which tasks on your will and emotions. It is praise that is required at the most inconvenient time in your life. We shall see an example of the people that offered the sacrifice of praise. Anyone can thank Yahweh and praise Him when the going is smooth and great, but when all situations are contrary, and you still praise, it is a sacrifice at that time. It is important to note that sacrifice brings about speedy divine intervention. We saw how the sacrifice that King David gave brought about divine intervention and termination of the plague. That sacrifice also made that place a landmark till all eternity as the place the temple was later built. Sacrifice is very powerful.
